My take -

It was totally hollow speech. It was only thank you speech.

Not a word about anything specific. Didn't speak a word on ceasefire. Didn't speak a word on violation of ceasefire.

Or was it a Victory speech??? When did Pakistan win the war which was never declared??

Kya chal raha hai?? Dunya ko ullu bana rahe hai kya?

China is talking to both India and Pakistan. Now China wants seat at the table.

Is our theory 2 mentioned above correct?

UN has released a statement congratulating India and Pakistan on ceasefire.

Bollywood mein police hamesha crime scene pe late aata hai..😂

India, Trump and UN ne bola hai that there is a ceasefire.

Shahbaz ne bola 'We Are Victorious'

This is ultimate.😂😂

Shahbaz Sharif's victory/thank you speech was not live. It was a recorded one. There were also a few cuts/edits in between.

When was it recorded? What parts were cut out? Why did it go live at late night around 11.30 in so much urgency?

Is this true?

Kapil Sibal and Kanwal Sibal are brothers. Siddhartha Varadrajan and Tunku Varadrajan are also brothers. Com. Uday Bhaskar and Swara Bhaskar.

It is like from the same family one person is in BJP and one person is in CPI/Congress. It is hedging.

Elites have no ideological commitment but to be social elites. It is us who think of it as something of a factor.

The story is not over yet. Its still evolving. What does it mean by "operations still ongoing"?? 😱

A new conspiracy theory making serious round about nuclear test and accidental hitting in Pakistan. Please don't circulate such unverified claims.

Now NDTV is saying that Pakistan has launched cyber warfare. That they are massively trolling Indian officials and bringing their morale down.

I think it may be true. But that doesnt mean that some of the decisions taken by Indian top brass in last 24 hours, esp in light of the recent unfolding of events, are not doubtful. What exactly happened is still unclear.

Only because Pakistanis are engaged in targeted trolling doesn't mean that we cannot voice our dissatisfaction openly.

Somewhere on Reddit from Pakistan.

Hello students,

I think things are wound down. Now I will return to our main purpose which is GS History and Culture.

I have been running this channel since 2020. And for 99.99% posts it was always only about the stated objective. Last 3-4 days were extremely unusual and thus I took liberty of posting other updates. The purpose is served.

Now, I am going to post last three updates here. After which we return to our original purpose. First two are the videos and one is the final summative post by an expert about how to look at the whole episode. I think all these three posts are like sweet at the end of the dinner.

Good luck.
Jai Hind.

Lt Gen (rtd) Rajendra Nimbhorkar:

For everyone who is disappointed that we didn’t finish Pakistan. I have only one question.

What exactly do you mean by “Finish Pakistan”? What do you expect to do?

Do you want to do a WW2 style Operation Sickle Cut, launch armored pincer movements, encircle Pakistani armies and annex Pakistan? Why on earth would you want to do that?

Do you want to add 300 million hostile people, some of whom already think blowing themselves up is their greatest purpose in life? How will you manage them?

Is that how you will finish Pakistan?

Or do you want to nuke them out of existence?

Because let me give you a reality check here. We won’t do that. We can’t do that. Indian citizens cannot morally contemplate, let alone sanction, nuking 300 million people. So that option is out.

Then Someone said, “Let’s split Pakistan into 5 countries”.

Now, Pakistan isn’t some Ikea Furniture that you can assemble or disassemble at your will. As hopeless they may be, they still have a functioning military and a working bureaucracy. They will do anything they can to keep the country together.

With all our might, with all our focus, we can exploit that Faultline, but it will take a lot of money and energy and 10-15 years. Are you ready to wait that long?

Some people said we should do a large-scale attack on all their air bases, military bases, Ports, Military HQ everything. Obliterate them out of existence.

Sounds nice if you are movie general.

In reality if we do that, Pakistan will launch nukes on Mumbai and Delhi. Simple. Because it will be their last resort and they will exercise it.

Obviously, we will retaliate and wipe them out of existence, but are ready to lose our 2 big cities and the lives of 20 million Indians as a price for taking out their military?

I don’t think so.

Finally, what is War? War is nothing but politics by other means. And War without objective is pointless.

Any battle launched should be with a purpose.

Our purpose in this strike was two-fold

1. Send a message to Pakistan that for every Indian your terrorist kills, we will kill 100 of your terrorists. We will take you out even if you are ensconced in the heart of your country. We will come after your terrorists like a wrath of God.
2. If Pakistan retaliates, not only can we handle them, but we will also hit and twist the knife if it comes to that.

We have achieved it. In fact, we have more than achieved it.

We have put the fear of God in the terrorists. Obviously, they will try again, but this time they know we will hit back.

And we have clearly shown Pakistan that we can penetrate wherever we want into Pakistan, while the maximum they can do is look up and shake their fists.

Some people also speak about India being diplomatically isolated.

In this entire exercise, if anyone has been isolated, it is Pakistan.

In the olden days, as soon as something bad from Pakistan happened, most countries used to descend on us, asking us to be restrained, calm, resilient etc.

This time not only did nobody speak, but they also allowed us three days of complete freedom of action where we stuck fear in the hearts of the Pakistani military.

So much so, they had to beg to us to stop.

In international diplomacy, no country will come out and say “Please attack someone else. We are with you” .

They will support you only when you are being attacked. The fact that nobody said anything when we attacked, is a diplomatic success in itself. Just that we don’t see it.

To summarize, as far as Operation Sindoor is concerned

1. We sent 200 jihadis to where they belong.
2. Took out 9 terrorist locations deep inside Pakistan
3. Attacked all major Pakistani Air bases, made a complete mockery of their air defence system.
4. Made them beg for us to stop. I mean if it is a wrestling match, the person who taps out first is the one who loses. Pakistan tapped out. Ergo, they lost.
5. Ensured Indus Water Treaty is now firmly in the dustbin.
6. Have given ourselves the freedom to attack Pakistan as soon as a Terrorist incident takes place.

If this is not a win for us, then I don’t know what is.

P:S: India wants to be an advanced country and has to provide for 80 crore people who are below the age of 30.

We have to focus on industrialization, technological self-sufficiency and agricultural modernization.

We have higher priorities than fighting pointless wars against a country who has nothing and can give nothing

Happy Buddha Paurnima.

What a day just after ceasefire..!

It seems to be a movie based on someone named Neeraj Atri. I have never heard of him before. In the coming time, we might get to read more about him.

From the trailer, the movie seems very sensational and I am sure as the movie comes out it will cause some debate and uproar. I only hope that the debate is fact-based and not merely ideology-based. It would Enlighten all of us.
